Candidate Forum Scheduled for State Assembly District 43 Race
On Saturday, October 13, 10 am – 11: 30 am, the League of Women Voters of the Whitewater Area will sponsor a forum for candidates running in the State Assembly District 43 race. The forum will be held in the City of Whitewater Council Chambers, located in the Whitewater Municipal Building (City Hall), 312 W. Whitewater Street, Whitewater.
Candidates Don Vruwink (incumbent Democrat) and Gabriel Szerlong (challenging Republican) have both agreed to participate. The League applauds their interest and willingness to share their views on public policy issues of importance to the District 43 electorate. At League forums, citizens in attendance ask questions of the candidates by writing them on cards, which are forwarded to the forum moderator after being checked for redundancy by a panel of League question checkers.
Your voice matters! – so please attend, bring your friends and neighbors and come with questions that you want the candidates to address. The forum will be filmed by Whitewater Community TV and broadcast live with ample time for rebroadcasting prior to the November 6 General Election.

Earl Joseph Findlay, 85, of Fort Atkinson, WI, passed away on October 08, 2018, after a very brief illness.
Earl was born to Earl and Jane (Monahan) Findlay on November 22, 1932. Earl was a dairy farmer in Cold Spring. He was called home to the farm at the age of 15, upon the death of his father, Earl Sr. Earl farmed full-time from 1947 until 1997. His farm was very special to him.

Upon retirement in 1997, Earl and Mary Ellen continued to live on the farm until 2008 when they moved to Fort Atkinson. From 2008 and until his passing, he was well known to drive to the farm, always wanting to keep an eye on things!
Earl’s greatest joy was his family and his farm. He was always pleased to know that the farm would continue through his daughter, Karen, her husband and their five children.
Earl was a long-time member of the First United Methodist Church of Fort Atkinson, Fort Rural Life Association, various farm organizations and was active in the Watertown Roller Skating Club.
Earl enjoyed anything farming, travel, and outings with his wife, reading, polka dancing and music, roller skating and his daughter and grandchildren.
